tool should run at full speed
- switch off the tool by releasing trigger J
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
! the accessory continues to rotate for a short time
after the tool has been switched off
• Speed selection wheel K 2
- with wheel K the maximum speed can be adjusted
from low to high (1-6)
- for determining the right speed table 7 can be used
as reference
! always test out first on a piece of scrap material
• Grinding 8
- move the tool back and forth with moderate pressure
! never use a cutting disc for side grinding
• Cutting 9
- do not tilt the tool while cutting
- always move the tool in same direction as arrow on

• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s) 0

will have full control of the tool at all times
- provide for a secure stance
- pay attention to the direction of rotation; always hold
the tool so, that sparks and grinding/cutting dust fly
away from the body
- keep ventilation slots L 2 uncovered

APPLICATION ADVICE

• Instead of flange E 2 the "CLIC" quick-clamping flange
(SKIL accessory 2610388766) can be used; grinding/
cutting discs can then be mounted without the use of
accessory keys
MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
• Always keep tool and cord clean (especially ventilation
slots L 2)
! do not attempt to clean ventilation slots by
inserting pointed objects through openings
! disconnect the plug before cleaning
• If the tool should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL
power tools
- send the tool undismantled together with proof of
purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service
station (addresses as well as the service diagram of
the tool are listed on www.skileurope.com)

NOISE/VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 92 dB(A) and the sound
power level 103 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and
the vibration ✱ (hand-arm method; uncertainty
K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱ when surface grinding 11.1 m/s²
✱ when polishing 2.5 m/s²
✱ when sanding 5.9 m/s²
! other applications (such as cutting-off or wire
brushing) may have different vibration values
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745;
it may be used to compare one tool with another and as
a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories, may
significantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
significantly reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
patterns
